Hi Stencilface, glad you got back safely and lovely to hear he is doing well :-) was great to meet you! Josh loaded really after I said he was a pain to load...Norman has obviously been a good influence on him ;-) I've been out on a couple of hacks with Josh and he does fine on good smooth...

Great to to hear! Best of luck. Looking forward to updates :-)

Personally, I would stick with your gut feeling if you can. I had the same gut feeling months before I finally made the decision to send mine to Rockley and I wish that I’d make the decision much sooner. I went along with the corrective shoeing for three rounds before I finally said enough...

Hi Jade, Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about your boy. You must be in a bit of shock. I have recently had a similar diagnosis to yours by MRI (albeit the tear in my boy’s DDFT wasn’t as long). The recommended treatment was to have corrective shoeing and to medicate the joint but...

Hi, I want to install a CCTV system in my trailer so that I can keep an eye on my horse while he's travelling (my partner drives and I am the passengers so not breaking any rules!). It doesnt need to be the latest technology. Something cheap and cheerful but that will allow me to keep an eye...

My boy had similar symptoms to you and after x - rays he was diagnosed with Navicular syndrome (as soneone said further up, its a catch all term) We underwent remideal shoeing, box rest and steroid injections into the joint. He was sound for a few months but then went lame again. Gave him a few...

I just read Norman's update...so pleased for you! Got Josh's yesterday and really pleased with his progress too. I'd spent many months trawling through the blogs and seeing photos of other peoples horses progress but it's so nice to see it actually working on your own! I'm going down to visit...

Ifor williams are known for having terrible suspension plus the ramp unloads on the road side so overall I was put off by this. I have a very bad traveller so I went for an Bateson as the suspension is much better. I also found that the fixtures and fittings are far better than on the Ifor (I...

Criso, I've just had a read of Frankie's history, its interesting to hear that he had similar issues to Josh and was succesfully rehabed. Saw that he has recently done a suspensory though. Sorry to hear that :-( Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Yes he does seem to love Josh! I visited yesterday and we wanted to get Josh it to check how he's holding his weight and Norman insisted on coming in too! He's a real sweetie. They seem to be getting on really well. I'm pleased Josh has made a friend too...Nic is hoping that Norman and the...

The update is for my boy (Josh!) I was mega excited when I received the link from Nic. Can't wait to see his progress in a few weeks!

We've had intermittent lameness in both front legs for the past 9 months, had corrective shoeing but he was still lame on and off so I asked for an MRI a few months ago which showed he's got a small lesion to his DDFT in the left fore. Had remedial shoeing after this by a specialist farrier but...

Mine is the lanky bay! Bit worried about him keeping weight on while he's there as he's a real dreamer and would rather stand and star gaze than eat! I'm going down to visit him this Sunday (I live in Bristol so not a million miles away). What's yours ? I'll look out for him when I go down :-)

Good luck! Mine is down there at the moment. We took him down on New Year's eve so he's only been there a few days too.
